Tariffs are essentially taxes paid by American consumers and businesses, resulting in increased costs for goods and services. The administration's inconsistent trade policies and threats of sweeping tariffs have created economic uncertainty, disrupting supply chains and increasing prices on everyday products like clothing, toys, and food items imported from countries like Mexico and China. American families will ultimately bear the burden of these higher costs. This chaotic approach to tariffs lacks a coherent strategy and fails to consider the potential negative impacts on U.S. consumers and the broader economy. We need consistent, well-planned trade policies that prioritize American households and businesses rather than recklessly imposing tariffs that raise prices across the board. I urge you to reconsider this harmful approach of broad-based tariffs that will strain American budgets.
